Our website

Information regarding our goods, and us, is available on our website.

These terms

These terms govern the contract between us, as the seller of the goods, and you as the buyer.  

We don't give trade customers all the same rights as consumers

For example, trade customers can't cancel their orders, they have different rights where there is a problem with any goods supplied and we don't compensate them in the same way for losses caused by us or our goods. You are a trade customer if you are buying goods wholly or mainly for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession, even if you are an individual.

Terms Applicable to Consumer Customers Only

The terms outlined in this section, together with those contained in the ‘Terms Applicable to All Customers’ section apply where you are purchasing goods from us as a consumer. If you are purchasing as a business, terms in the sections ‘Terms Applicable to Trade Customers Only’ and ‘Terms Applicable to All Customers’ will apply as between us.

We charge you when you place your order

We will process your payment when you place your order. You will own the goods once we have received payment for them in full. 

We will arrange delivery of your goods to you

Further information about our delivery charges, and delivery methods, can be found on the delivery page of our website.

If you have bought online, by mail order, or over the telephone, you have a legal right to change your mind

Your legal right to change your mind. For most of our goods bought online, by mail order, or over the telephone, you have a legal right to change your mind about your purchase and receive a refund of what you paid for it, including the delivery costs. This is subject to some conditions, as set out below.

When you can't change your mind. You can't change your mind about an order for goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised.

The deadline for changing your mind. If you change your mind about any goods you have ordered you must let us know no later than 14 days after the day we deliver your goods. If the goods are split into several deliveries over different days, the period runs from the day after the last delivery. 

How to let us know. To let us know you want to change your mind, contact Customer Service

You have to return the goods at your own cost. If you are a consumer and are returning goods to us after cancelling your order, you have to return them to us within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind. Returns are at your own cost, unless we offered free returns when you bought the goods. You can send the goods back to us, using an established delivery service. If you do this you should keep a receipt or other evidence from the delivery service that proves you have sent it and when you sent it. If you don’t do this and we don’t receive the goods at all or within a reasonable time we won't refund you the price. For help with returns please contact Customer Service

We only refund standard delivery costs. We don't refund any extra you have paid for express delivery or delivery at a particular time.

We reduce your refund if you have used or damaged the goods. If you handle the goods in a way which would not be acceptable in-store, we reduce your refund, to compensate us for its reduced value. For example, we reduce your refund if the goods’ condition is not "as new", price tags have been removed, the packaging is damaged or accessories are missing. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the goods, no refund may be due.

When and how we refund you. If your goods haven't been delivered or we've agreed to collect them from you, we will refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of you telling us you've changed your mind. If sending any unwanted goods back to us, we will refund you within 14 days of receiving them back from you (or receiving evidence you've sent them to us). We will refund you by the method you used for payment. We don't charge a fee for the refund.

You have rights if there is something wrong with your goods

Return the goods to us. If you think there is something wrong with your goods, you must contact our Customer Service Team who will be able to assist you and confirm what action needs to be taken.

Our returns process. Further information about our returns process can be found on our returns page.

Our liability to you. We're responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking this contract unless the loss is:

  • Unexpected. It was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable).
  • Caused by a delaying event outside our control. As long as we have taken the steps set out in the ‘We're not responsible for delays outside our control’ section.
  • Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action.
  • A business loss. Our liability for any loss you suffer in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession is limited, as described in Our liability to businesses.

Disputes

These terms are governed by English law. As a consumer you can bring claims against us in the English courts and if you live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in. If you are a consumer we can claim against you in the courts of the country you live in.

We have a minimum order value

We charge you when you place your order

If you are a trade customer we may have an agreement with you to charge you on credit terms. In all other cases we will process your payment when you place your order.  You will own the goods once we have received payment for them in full. 

Once an order has been accepted by us it cannot be cancelled

If you wish to cancel, or amend, an order that we have accepted then contact us. We do not have an obligation to accept any such request and, if we do accept it, we reserve the right to charge you an administrative fee for agreeing to any request.

  • store the goods until actual delivery and charge you for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or
  • sell the goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to you for any excess we may achieve, or charge you for any shortfall.

You shall inspect the goods upon delivery and shall be deemed to have accepted the goods unless you inform us in writing within three days of delivery that the Goods are damaged or have been mis-shipped provided that where:

  • the goods are damaged or of unsatisfactory quality, we shall credit your account to the value of the damaged or unsatisfactory goods;
  • the goods have been short-shipped, we shall credit your account to the value equivalent to the difference between the value of goods invoiced and the value of goods actually shipped;
  • the incorrect goods have been shipped, you shall return the incorrectly shipped goods to us, at our cost (usually by us sending to you a pre-paid return label), we shall credit your account to the value of the incorrectly shipped goods plus, if you have gone to the cost of returning the goods to us a reasonable amount to cover the cost of delivery back to us; or
  • the goods have been over-shipped, you shall return the over-shipped goods to us (usually by us sending to you a pre-paid return label) and the we shall credit your account to the value of the over-shipped goods plus, if you have gone to the cost of returning the goods to us a reasonable amount to cover the cost of delivery back to us.

We both agree that the above shall be your sole remedy. 

We reserve the right to inspect goods that you claim are damaged, of unsatisfactory quality or have been mis-shipped, or to ask for evidence to satisfy us of the same, and our decision as to the quality or quantity of goods shall be final.

We will contact you to confirm we've received your order and we accept it when we dispatch or supply the goods and confirm dispatch or supply to you. 

Sometimes we reject orders

Sometimes we reject orders, for example, this may because the goods in the order are unexpectedly out of stock, because the goods were mispriced by us, or where you, as a trade customer, have placed an order for less than the minimum sales order value. When this happens, we let you know as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid, if we have already taken payment.

We reserve the right to change the specifications of our goods

There may be situations where we need to make changes to the specification of some of the goods we sell, where any changes are required to conform with any applicable statutory or EU requirement.

Payment to be made in GBP

Unless otherwise agreed, or selected at checkout, payment shall be made to us in Great British Pounds.

We charge interest on late payments

If we're unable to collect any payment you owe, and we’ve delivered the goods you’ve ordered to you, we reserve the right to charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the Bank of England base rate from time to time. This interest accrues on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You pay us the interest together with any overdue amount. 

We pass on increases in VAT

If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the goods in the order, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

We're not responsible for delays outside our control

If our supply of your goods is delayed by an event outside our control, such as us noticing any of the goods you have ordered is damaged, and there are no replacements in stock, or, there is a shortage of supply from our suppliers, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we won't compensate you for the delay, but if the delay is likely to be substantial (i.e. more than 1 month) you can contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any goods you have paid for in advance, but not received.

We can suspend supply (and you have rights if we do)

We can suspend the supply of goods and we do this to:

  • deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

  • make changes to the goods.

No implied terms about goods. We exclude all terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982.

We use your personal data as set out in our Privacy Notice

How we use any personal data you give us is set out in our Privacy Notice.

We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your goods. We'll tell you in writing if this happens and if you are a consumer we'll ensure that the transfer won't affect your rights under the contract. 

You can only transfer your contract with us to someone else if we agree to this. We do not have to agree to any request to transfer the contract, and any decision to do so is at our sole discretion.  

Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.

If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can't do it later.
